Pull strap nearest the wheelchair up and across lap of passenger, passing strap through sides of wheelchair for maximum security and put into a stalk buckle

Pull the remaining strap up and over shoulder, diagonally down across chest and into the other stalk buckle. (See right image)

If the combined restraint is supplied with an additional tongue on the shoulder belt then this should be used in conjunction with an extension belt. Where applicable , the extension belt clips into the inertia tongue and goes from the shoulder and locks into the vehicle wall. (See image on far right)

Adjust the comfort clips so they are positioned and locked against the casing. This alleviates downward pressure on the occupant's shoulder and stops the belt cutting across the neck (see Note 2 at the bottom of the page)
